Green Bay vs Arizona Preview & Prediction
Spread: Green Bay -7.0
Moneyline: Green Bay (-380)
Total: 44.5
Packers: Cheese, Confidence, and a Few Angry Linemen
Green Bay strolls into the desert looking to prove they can actually win on the road, something they’ve avoided like a cold bratwurst in January. The Packers (3-1-1) are coming off a 27-18 home win over Cincinnati, fueled by a late surge from Jordan Love, who remembered that fourth quarters do in fact count.
Love threw for 259 yards, but the real story was how Green Bay’s offense finally started clicking when it mattered most. Head coach Matt LaFleur has been preaching consistency, though the only thing consistent has been kicker injuries and defensive flags. Speaking of defense, the Packers’ pass rush has been solid, but Micah Parsons (yes, the one-man wrecking crew) has had enough of being held like a dance partner on every play. “They’ll call holding on us, but not on them,” Parsons said, basically accusing referees of rooting for fantasy football owners everywhere.
Still, Green Bay’s defense should feast against a shaky Cardinals offensive line, especially if Kyler Murray sits again. Expect the Packers to bring pressure early and let their secondary play ball hawk.
Final Thought: Green Bay needs this one to stay in rhythm. Winning ugly is still winning and it’s the Packers’ specialty.
Cardinals: Close Calls, Broken Hearts, and Late Collapses
Arizona has turned heartbreak into an art form. Four straight losses by a combined nine points, that’s not bad luck, that’s a cosmic prank. The Cardinals (2-4) have mastered the art of losing on last-second field goals, setting an NFL record that no one ever wanted.
Coach Jonathan Gannon insists his team needs to “solve problems,” though most of Arizona’s problems start with the fourth quarter, where their defense apparently clocks out early. They’ve blown multiple leads in the final minutes, and fans are beginning to think the team should just skip the last 10 minutes altogether.
Quarterback Jacoby Brissett filled in admirably for an injured Murray last week, throwing for 320 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to Indianapolis. He might get the nod again this Sunday, which means fewer highlight-reel scrambles, but more steady play under pressure. The Cardinals’ defense has held up well early in games but consistently melts late, like ice cream in the desert sun.
Final Thought: The Cards play hard, but “almost” wins don’t count in Vegas or the standings. They’ll hang tough, then fall apart late again.
Prediction
The Packers are just the better team top to bottom, and while Arizona’s knack for chaos might keep things interesting early, Green Bay’s offense should pull away late. Expect Jordan Love to find his groove against a defense that forgets how to tackle after halftime.
Final Score: Packers 27, Cardinals 17
